creepy morning

there i was … minding my own business at the bus stop. reading my magazine while listening to my ipod. he went down the bus, smiled at me like what he did every day for the past couple of weeks. i just forced a smile just to be polite. as always,he would stare at me (which really made me feel uncomfortable). everyday too, he would try starting a conversation, but i would just usually nod or force a smile just to be polite. today was different though, my ipod was on the other ear so it didn't seem like i was listening to anything so, he started a conversation, talked about the weather and having to work on a hot day. he then asked if i work or am i a student. then he introduced himself and then also asked for my name.

asking what nationality i have .. i said filipino. then he said, "wow, i figured. i didn't think filipinos would be pretty". then he asked if i was married then said i was really pretty and that my name is pretty. *weird feeling crept up* i just said "thanks" then really burrowed myself in the magazine hoping he'd realize i'm not into talking to anyone. then he continued, asking if i like americans ... i just made a hand gesture indicating "not really" or "50-50". he said, "well, i'm italian" i just said "ok".

then things just got weirder ... he said he's been falling in love for the past days and he asked "can i take you out sometime?". of course i shook my head and said no. he asked why. i just said "i'm with someone. i already have a boyfriend" ... unfortunately, my alibi didn't seem valid to him. he just said, "my intentions are clear. i mean no disrespect. i just really want to take you out, get to know you. you are really beautiful". i said "no. i really have a boyfriend" trying to convince him. but he still didn't give up. he said his intentions were pure and that he respects me, and that i'm really beautiful and that if i didn't notice that he looks at me everyday. (which i do notice, that's why i dread waiting for the bus in the morning)

another guy comes along and apparently they know each other. i thought i was saved coz i thought he won't bug me anymore coz he'd be talking to his friend. but nooooo. after they chit chatted for some time, he turned to me again and asked me again. i said no again. then he stood up to throw something or check something (i didn't really bother knowing) then fortunately my bus came ... i jumped from my seat and literally ran to the bus.
